Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The proper diagnosis of ACS requires reliable and accurate biomarker assays to detect evidence of myocardial necrosis. Currently, troponin is the gold standard biomarker for myocardial injury and is used commonly in conjunction with creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and myoglobin to enable a more rapid diagnosis of ACS. A new generation of highly sensitive troponin assays with improved accuracy in the early detection of ACS is now available, but the correct interpretation of assay results will require a careful consideration of assay characteristics and the clinical setting prior to incorporation into routine practice. B-type natriuretic peptides, copeptin, ischemia-modified albumin, heart-type fatty-acid-binding protein, myeloperoxidase, C-reactive protein, choline, placental growth factor, and growth-differentiation factor-15 make up a promising group of other biomarkers that have shown the ability to improve prognosis and diagnosis of ACS compared with traditional markers.
